A ball moving with velocity of
collides with another similar stationary ball. After the collision both the balls move in directions making an angle of
with the initial direction. After the collision their speed will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Initial horizontal momentum of the system = m × × 9
Final horizontal momentum of the system = 2mv cos 30 0
According to law of conservation of momentum, m × × 9 = 2mv cos 30 0
⇒ ⇒ v = 5.2 m/s
